OreImo nendoroid - Kirino Kousaka
I pre-ordered Kirino back in December from J-List, and I finally received her this past Thursday (March 10). <3 After hitting hard luck with two bootlegged nendoroids (Saber Lily and Snow Miku), it's really great to have the real deal~~ Her hair is so smooth!
I love the box art! Especially the rainbow square pattern~
Her colors are really bright out of the box. Her big blue eyes are what sold me to pre-order this one, I think~
She came with several stickers to put on the DVD and Blu-Ray pieces, plus what look like game covers(?). I used the Meruru sticker for the DVD, and the bottom B*RS sticker for the BD.
I used some of the stickers to decorate her bag, too~
I didn't care much for this face when I was watching OreImo, but on the nendoroid her pout is really cute!
She prefers Miku when it comes to cosplay (just don't tell her it's a Chinese knock-off, lol)~
I don't have any DVDs of what Kiririn would like, so she sits on my shelf fangirling over her own.
Haha this one is great. Looks like she really didn't want to cosplay as Rin.
I'm surprised how much value Kirino has to collectors. She went for 5,000 yen on MANDARAKE.
Me? Well my Kirino's accidentally shipped to my parent's house instead of my new one, so I probably won't see her until mid-April. From your photos, she looks like she'll be worth the wait!
It probably has to do with it being sold out everywhere.
Yeah, most likely. Maybe GSC produced a relatively limited amount in comparison to the demand to increase the value for the aftermarket? That or they just didn't expect her to be as popular as she turned out to be.
Who knows? Maybe they've already got a re-release up their sleeves.
I REALLY want her, but 5000 yen is just too much for a nendoroid, my wallet says >_>
Ignore Mr. Wallet's objections! Kick reason to the curb, as Kamina said!
Give into the temptation. You know you want to...
That's really expensive! I think she was ~USD40-45 when I pre-ordered her. It was so long ago I don't remember very clearly. "Orz
She's definitely worth the wait, IMO. :D
I'm more of a Kuroneko fan. It seems Kuroneko nendo pre-orders are being sold out all over as well.
Perhaps GSC will release another production run of these popular nendos. I hope there'll be a Ayase nendo somewhere in the future too.
Oh wow. I noticed Kuroneko was still in stock at Big in Japan so I put my pre-order in with them.
...She's now listed as "Out of Stock". Talk about lucky!
Who knows though. They never did a reproduction of Mugi.
i ended up getting Kirino on here for $40 ..... I like the photos you took but Humm she does look a bit plain I like nendos I put in action poses ....ill see when she arrives in a few days ...I always picked up a Mesousa for 5000 JPY and a Remui for 5000 JPY the day before the re-release annoucement gaaahhhh oh well
I guess you could pose her with her bag in the air like she's about ready to take someone out? That'd be an interesting action pose. xD
Hey that's true bag smacker Kirino ^^ okay totally have a action pose now
Kirino's so cute!
Really nice photos.When I looked on Mandarake- Kirino was 6,000 yen.Manadarake seem to charge lots.Looks well worth getting for $40.I am waiting on Kuroneko (pre-ordered ages ago)
I got her today as well!
Haven't trief as many poses as you though. I've just got the arms crossed, pouty face at the moment.
She's soo cute ^_^ love the photo's I can't wait to get mine its taking too long >.<
Great set. I haven't opened mine, so it was cool to see the goodies she comes with. Too funny!
